To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, HOWARD PAUL, of Kittery, in the county ot' York and St-ate of Maine, and HENRY S. PAUL, of Cambridge, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain Improvements in (lider Mill and Press, of which the following is a specification:

The first part ot' our invention relates to the mill-rolls, the surface of which has a number ot' rows ot' teeth, and between the teeth is a cavity to admit the teeth of the opposite roll. The object ot' the teeth is to force the apples between the rolls.

Figure lis an end elevation of the machine, showing the rolls. Fig. 2 is a sectional View, Showingl the ends of the rolls 5 also the teeth, and the cavity, and the press.

A is the bench of the machine, which is made of hard Wood and supported by four legs. C is the upright pieces that support the rolls, which pieces are bolted to the bench a. cl d are the mill-rolls, which are made ot' hard wood, placed one above the other, leaving one-eighth of an inch between them. B B B are the teeth, which are made of wood, and driven into the surface of the rolls, the projections of which are pointed. E E E, tc., are the cavities between the teeth. F F are the cog-wheels on the end of the shaft that passes through the rolls. G is the crank by which rotary motion is given to the rolls. H

R is the trough to catch the apples after they pass between the rolls. I is the press-tub, which is made ot' Vhard Wood, and is round, and parallel inside and tapering outside, for the purpose of hooping securely, and slots cut through the lower edge to allow the cider to escape. J is the bed or bottom of tub, the top side of which has a groove to set the tub in, and also a gutter outside of the groove to conduct the cider round to the outlet. K is the press-screw, and attached to the lower end is the plunger, of

wood, made to lit the tub. M is the cross-bar that the press-screw passes through, and secured to the top of stanchion n n bya bolt that passes through the stanchion, and screwed to the under side ot' the bench A by a nut.

We make no claim to the mode in which rotary motion is given to the rolls, nor the screw of the press, for we are aware that these are not new 5 but We claim as our invention- Thel mill-rolls d d, substantially :1s-and for the purpose hereinbefore Set forth.
